Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

This week's puzzle is an odd-shaped one -- 19x13! -- by Ross Trudeau, called "Go with the Flow" at 3/5 difficulty. Ross is a writer/puzzle maker and delightful dude from Cambridge, MA, who runs a weekly free puzzle at rosswordpuzzles.com.

A plug for a friend: The eleventh annual MMMM (Muller Monthly Music Meta) starts on Tuesday, Jan 11. The submission deadline is Sunday, Jan. 16. Subsequent puzzles will come out on the first Tuesday of each month. The first three metas are on the easy side, and there is a 'mega-meta' hidden in the 12 monthly puzzles for solvers looking for a real challenge. Best of all, it's free! You can sign up at pmxwords.com.

Expansion update: we're aiming for the end of this month for the beginning of our near-daily puzzles to start rolling out. The exact start date will be announced very soon!

yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
